Great thread and as much as I appreciate the knowledge, I do have a hard time believing that many in this industry will care. With the exception of some of the higher end productions houses who have the budgets to shoot in HD, I think most will choose HDV.
Shot is HD is the tag line they are after. Not shot is REAL HD. Until my clients decide paying for true HD is worth it for them I will continue to shoot in HDV for adult and HD for mainstream.
